I went to two exhibitions in London yesterday, both worth a look.
But note once more the curse of the modern cultural world - something that's easy to do if you know how, but nearly impossible if not. Arriving at the V&A there were signs to tickets and the exhibition in question. I don't mind paying - that way I get some use out of my Art Fund card. But why hide the place you have to pay so far from where the exhibition itself is? You can employ someone to sell audio guides outside the exhibition, but not tickets? And, yes, okay, the ticket hall was signed, but in a list of items on a sign I walked past and didn't notice. And I notice things (Like Moomin mugs in shop windows).
And this is a chuffing design museum.

It's a long way away, but I note Horace Walpole and Strawberry Hill
